WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

What balance can you expect after financial aid is applied? Compare your charges to your financial aid: the total is your expected balance (refund or amount due) after financial aid has been disbursed to cover tuition, fees, and other costs of attendance.

We want to help you plan and discover the financial avenues available to you. Share this worksheet with a representative from the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. We’ll answer your questions and guide you through your options.

1. CALCULATE YOUR TOTAL CHARGES FOR THE TERM

FILL IN this column with your actual charges for tuition, SHIP, New Student Programming, and on-campus housing (residence halls or on-campus apartments). Add the amounts and write the total under “Total Charges for Term.”

Note: Charges will appear on your account about a month before the start of the term. You may not have every type of charge on your billing statement.

ALL ESTIMATED VALUES are subject to the availability of funding. Some applicants may be asked for more detailed information through our verification process, which could impact the estimated financial aid. You may submit verification documents (tasks), including some appeals, by logging into the Financial Aid and Scholarships (FAS) student portal through your Tritonlink and accessing the Document Submission tool.

This tool allows you to complete your documents with an e-signature and is mobile friendly, so you can complete tasks using your phone and even opt-in for text reminders.
